Wed on The Rock but not on The Rocks.
|
On a marriage that was carried out in a Register Office, the words 'by certificate before me' appear before the registrar's signature. What information would have been on this certificate and would witnesses have been required? Was a fee payable and like banns, did some set time have to elapse before the marriage?
The time period in question is 1891 Wales.
Questions probably asked many times, but hope someone can enlighten me, I may have a mystery to solve.
Thanks in advance,
Pilly

Hi,
I have a certificate for a marriage, in 1886, which took place a the Register Office in Nottingham - I know the groom came from a non-conformist (Unitarian) background, so this may have been their reason for not having a church wedding.
